Write a Letter to Support Lt. Dan Choi!

By Kevin | Friday, June 26, 2009 | 3 Comments

 Write a Letter to Support Lt. Dan Choi!I’ve already written a couple posts about Lt. Dan Choi and his organization Knights Out that’s fighting the controversial “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that prohibits openly gay servicemen from serving their country.  Lt. Choi, a graduate of West Point that speaks fluent Arabic, was a translator (among other things) serving overseas.  He was discharged in May for violating the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and is heading into trial on Tuesday.  He is now asking for the public’s help in the form of a letter.  Please, please spend some time to hand-write a letter and e-mail it to Lt. Choi to show your support of his effort to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.  I know I am a bit behind and there are only a couple of days left before the trial, but every letter counts!
